Academy Alumni Network

My whole life changed since attending the Wildlife Leadership Academy where I talked to so many knowledgeable adults who wanted to spend time with the other teenagers that were there with me. These adults opened my eyes to what I could do to teach everyone else in the world about the passion I have for the outdoors.

Before Wildlife Leadership Academy, I had no idea how much of an impact conservation had on our world and the way we live our lives. It has influenced me to become more aware of how I live my life, and what I can do to spread the word so others can do the same.

Wildlife Leadership Academy changed my view on the world and how we interact with our environment. It also taught me how to become more of a leader and put myself out there for people to see.

Because of Wildlife Leadership Academy, I am more aware of conservation and how to magnify my efforts toward it. I was also exposed to a fantastic network of organizations dedicated to this purpose. Learning at this age in my life, rather than later, impacted me greatly in how I think about the environment and its inhabitants.
